Mathematics (MTH)
Master of Science

Overview

The program is designed to accommodate students seeking either a terminal master’s degree or preparation for PhD work.

Candidates for admission to the Master of Science Program in the Department of Mathematics should have completed at least thirty-three semester hours of mathematics and statistics at an accredited college or university. At least fifteen of these hours should require as a prerequisite two semesters of calculus or a semester of linear algebra. Most successful applicants have taken three semesters of calculus (through multivariable calculus), linear algebra, abstract algebra (or modern algebra), and advanced calculus (or other advanced courses in analysis).

Students in the program have access to state-of-the-art equipment and facilities, including the DEAC Linux cluster (is.wfu.edu/services/high-performance-computing).
